Baltic pagans - Now with Battlereport

[gamer Mac]

Lovely work on that palisade

[rumacara]

Yup. That palisade its great.

[Dr. Zombie]

And now the Motte is also finished.



I could not wait to populate it.





This is actually my first time building large scale scenery. And I am quite happy with my results. Now I just need to find a place to put it.

[Erik]

Super cool result my good doctor. Can we please give it a spin for our next game? I am sure CwC can wait. If we combine our medieval models it should be enough for a Lions Rampant game while we build our forces.

Cheers
Erik

[rumacara]

Superb work.
Very inspirational.

[Vagabond]

Excellent looking motte and bailey castle. The rock outcrops are a nice touch.


Very impressed you have so much storage space

[Dr. Zombie]

Thanks lads.

I don't really have storage place for something of this size. But when starting this build I figured it would be future me's problem. I have sorted a temporary storage. And I have a cunning plan for a more permanent solution. But it requires some building and perhaps worst of all some cleaning up in the zombie workshop.

that looks amazing

[Dr. Zombie]

After having the Motte and Bailey castle finished Erik and I had to take it for a test drive. So we quickly cobbled a game together Erik took control of his Danish crusaders and I my Baltic bagans. We played Lions Rampant with 24 point for the danish defenders and 36 points for the Baltic attackers.

Overview of the table. Castle by me the rest of the boards are by Erik.


The pagans advance. Their archers take up position behind a low wall and start taking shots at any defender who pokes his head up.


The defenders on the Motte shoot back and start to take a heavy toll on the attackers.


The pagans brave the hail of arrows from the castle and continiue their advance.


The first unit to reach the Baileys walls are driven back and take heavy casualties.


But the rest of the pagan army is stedily advancing whilst returning enough fire to begin to do some damage to the Danish crusaders.


While the Pagan arrows are taking their toll on the Danish Crusaders they still hold the walls fiercly and repel another pagan assault.


The pagan general assaults the gates to try and get in that way as the walls are to well defended.


As the pagans rush through the destroyed gate the last defenders flee to make a last stand in the Motte.


The pagan general gripped by bloodlust charges the Danish hedgehog on the Motte and is brutally cut down.


The Danes choose to make a counterassault. But run into a deadly crossfire on the Motte Bridge.


And are cut down to a man in a hail of arrows.


The gratuitous crotch shots of Erik are free of charge....

[Erik]

Nice AAR and what great terrain and miniatures we have  .
Next time we try it out with my scenario.

And thank you for the completely inappropriate comment about my crotch .


Cheers
Erik

[rumacara]

Lovely array of figures and scenery.
Keep it coming.

[Phil Portway]

Nice to see your work in "action". Nice report too!

[Captain Blood]
